Protagonismo bilíngue: uma experiência, duas línguas, vários sujeitos e a escola

Abstract

This research is born from the deaf listener duality in the optics of the family and takes more definite contours when there is the junction between the life, the work and the study of a listener father and his deaf son directing them to the bilingual experience Libras / Portuguese language . It is emphasized that being in the presence of the possibility of bilingual experience is not only for the deaf but of the listeners is optional, since they can choose to learn or not to learn Libras. On the other hand, the choice of the deaf is conditioned by two factors: because they are deaf, and therefore can not be seen outside the bilingual condition, and by the choice of those responsible for Libras or by oralization, in this second option the possibility of bilingual experience based in a speech still focused on the mistake caused by the medicalization of deafness, historically constituted as a mark of disability and not difference. It presents some of the uniqueness of bilingual experience and the historical contributions that have involved and involve the subjects in relation to the signalized languages and oral languages and the prejudice attributed to Libras. In the midst of this scenario, this dissertation considers the experience of bilingual education in the city of Niterói and the search for more ethical and aesthetic forms of teaching material for deaf students, prioritizing Libras as a language of instruction, with the access to and guarantee of rights for deaf students. To do so, the work is divided into three moments: "the possibility of a bilingual experience - Libras / Portuguese language", "the experience with education of the deaf in the city of Niterói" and "accessibility and guarantee of rights through technological resources alternative ". They are intercessors of this research, besides the field material, Maura Corsine Lopes, Jorge de Larossa, Jacques Rancière, Solange Rocha, Ronice Muller de Quadros and other authors who think of deafness as difference. With them it was possible to experience and tell what happened to me, formed me and transformed me into this trajectory of signaling that recognizes not knowing as a way and, along with other signposts, deaf and listeners fight for the Bilingual Protagonism assuming the challenge of offering the signaled version this dissertation.
